Combining performance, music and photography, Stilled is a durational dance piece performed both for a human audience and a bank of silent, all-seeing pinhole cameras, choreographed by David Harridine.

In Stilled, the audience witness the performance taking place, and they see the strange, often abstract images that bear witness to earlier improvisations. Stilled is a meditation on the nature of perception: of taking time to become visible, taking time to be present, taking time to look, and taking time to see.

Stilled features a live, improvised score by Jamie McCarthy and light score by Hansjorg Schmidt. Audiences are free to come and go throughout the duration of the piece.

The performance at Siobhan Davies Dance Studio is free and non-ticketed.

Alongside the performance, Siobhan Davies Studio host an exhibition of prints from Stilled, displayed throughout the building. Each image bears witness to dances that have already been and gone, durations of time captured in a single image.

Originally commissioned for Wellcome Collection.
